Headlight Adjusters 700 1988

Inexpensive solution to stripped headlight adjusting nuts.

I found that Advance Auto Parts in their HELP (misc. small parts) section carried a black Toyota insert part number 42180 that was the corrct size to be tapped with 4.5 x .75 mm threads. The hole the insert fits into on the car had to be enlarged with either a file or a dremel tool.

Remember to put the insert in from the back side, so the head takes all the pressure.

Worked great for me, I hope it's helpful to someone else.
